Hello!!
I'm back blogging once again. Its been great doing internship in church and God has been opening doors for me to experience His goodness and see His work. Thank You God.
Well, its been some time since habakkuk; here's what i did
A Walk through Habakkuk’s Prayer
Station 1 - Habakkuk 1, 2 - Asking God Questions
Write on the piece of paper provided questions you have about God, man, Christianity etc
Station 2 - Habakkuk 3:3-15 – A Proclamation of God’s Greatness in the past.
Because of our human tendency to worry, we often forget the times God has blessed us. Take a few moments to see if we can recall any time in our lives when we felt God’s goodness in our lives.
Activity: Write or draw one such event on the piece of paper provided as an act of proclamation of God’s grace.
Station 3 - Habakkuk 3:17 - “though the fig tree does not blossom…”
Habakkuk was thinking of the worst that could happen (famine and starvation).
Activity: Take a few minutes to think of one or more of your most significant fears. Write or draw it down on the piece of paper provided
Station 4 - Habakkuk 3:18-19 – A Pledge to God’s Praise Forever.
Habakkuk was not being morbid by thinking of the worst that could happen (famine and starvation). He was making a resolution to remain faithful to God and His righteousness no matter what.
Activity: Praying for one another
Meditate on the closing words of Habakkuk’s book:
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.
Habbakuk's Prayer
Though the fig tree does not blossom
And there are no grapes on the vines
Though the olive tree is barren
And the fields produce no fruit
Though there are no sheep in the penfold
And no cattle in the stalls
I know the Sovereign Lord my Saviour
Is my strength and is my job
The Sovereign Lord is my strength
He makes my feet like those of deer
I can walk on my high places
Treading bravely without fear.
Chorus:
So I will exalt in the Lord
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
I will exalt in the Lord
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
As we come into His presence
Humbly bow before our King
As we bow our hearts to worship
Hymns of adoration sing
He has promised He will meet us
If we truly seek His face
As we come into His presence
Resting only in His grace
As we come into His presence
We will worship and adore
Christ our one and only Saviour
King of kings forevermore
Many of the youths responded to the challeng to live in faith and by whenever trials and tribulations come their way. I pray that whenever that is, you will remain faithful to the God who has always been so faithful to you :) Jesus Christ
